Just taken down tree from the garden? Before burning it or throwing the whole thing away, see if it can be used for another purpose.
A little time with a saw and a drill gives you a rustic candle holder

 

If you have a washing machine that has reached the end of its useful life ..... it may not have done. As a machine to wash clothes, maybe, but if you happen to have a desk with metal legs, which is also due for replacement, combine the two and you have a fire for the terrace or garden. With a grill over the top, it can double as a barbecue too. Get cooking, get eating, then stoke up the fire with some wood to keep the warm feeling throughout the rest of the evening

Gives light too, for those unlit gardens
